Chapter 91 Cheng Youyi delivers goods to your door, Zhou Shi meets an acquaintance in his dream
"How will this case be decided?"
"I don't know, that's a matter from above." He Shouxin took a sip of tea and said, "In addition, we found out that the 'mother' of the woman buried under the withered willow was actually the old bustard. After the woman died, Wu Zhaokun gave him
The madam gave her a sum of money to allow her to return to her hometown for retirement. Now she is in jail, waiting for retribution."
Coercing to sell sex, failing to report the knowledge, and collaborating with other criminals, these crimes are enough for her to drink.
Zhou Shi asked again: "What do you do with the woman's remains?"
"Buried in an unknown grave."
"Oh." Zhou Shi felt a lot more at ease when he heard that Xu Ling'er finally found a home.
But He Shouxin refused to take his eyes away from him.
After Zhou Shi found out that he was looking at her, she felt uncomfortable and didn't know what the other person's intentions were.
"Sir He, if you have something to do, just say it."
He Shouxin raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll tell you the truth, can you tell me the truth too?"
The answer is no. Zhou Shi cannot express his heart to the people in the government.
"We searched the well where Wu Zhaokun buried the stolen money, and found that there was a cave under the well - you already knew that, right?"
Seeing that he could not hide it, Zhou Shi had no choice but to answer with silence.
"The judge we invited said that there were corpses staying in the tunnel behind the well for a long time. It was probably a place where corpses were raised and refined. This is connected to the Yichunyuan case."
"Oh?"
"If it can be confirmed where the fake corpses were refined, then there will be new clues in the Yichunyuan case." He Shouxin stood up and said, "Captain Zhao said I owe you this time.
If you need help from the Yamen in the future, just let me know."
Zhou Shi stood up at the same time and said: "I wish you all good luck in investigating the case."
I need help from the Yamen...
He looked at He Shouxin's strong back walking down the steps and thought, it's best not to have that kind of need.
So far, the case of the female corpse in the well has been solved, and it has also involved a case of imperial examination fraud, which can be said to have gained a lot. The case of the corpse hidden in Yichunyuan has not yet made a major breakthrough, but Zhou Shi can't find a starting point, so he has to follow through
Of course, let the government investigate.
"I also want to inform Mrs. Hu that the government is now focusing its energy on the Yichunyuan corpse hiding case and will definitely keep an eye on the location of the crime. They should be more careful recently to avoid being caught."
Thinking of this, Zhou Shi remembered that he still had an unsolved case here - the identity of the scholar.
"I'll go to Wang Jin's house again in the afternoon, see the old lady, and investigate again in my dream."
The last time he learned that the scholar was not Wang Jin, he was shocked. In a hurry, he did not try to switch to the dream to look for more clues. In addition, Liu Zhong from Liujiacun came to deliver rice to the old lady, so he did not find a chance to dream again. When he went downstairs, he saw an extra pair of pickets next to the counter, and Agui and an acquaintance were standing next to him.
"Shopkeeper Cheng?" Zhou Shi hurriedly walked down the steps and came up to greet him. The person who came was none other than Cheng Youyi, the owner and shopkeeper of the soy sauce shop.
Zhou Shi was invited back to Fengde Building by Liu Xiaosi before, precisely because Cheng Youyi came to collect debts with several creditors. However, Zhou Shi later realized that shopkeeper Cheng was doing this to raise money for his son to ward off evil spirits, so he had no choice but to do so.
.After he exorcised the evil spirit transformed into shopkeeper Cheng’s nephew, the two of them formed an iron-clad friendship.
"Shopkeeper Zhou, I got you what you asked for!"
Huh? Zhou Shi was surprised and happy. He didn't expect Cheng Youyi to be so efficient at work, and he really had a way!
He quickly untied the large vat hanging from the basket and moved the lid open a crack. A scent instantly filled the room, making his mouth water.
"Shopkeeper Cheng, just ask a waiter to deliver it to you. Why bother to go there yourself?"
Cheng Youyi laughed and said: "Don't tell others, of course I will deliver what you want myself. These two jars of bean paste were brought from Sichuan by asking someone from the Bashu Chamber of Commerce to act as a matchmaker. They are absolutely authentic!"
”
Zhou Shi thanked Agui and asked Agui to call out Xue An.
When Agui walked into the kitchen, he thought to himself: The shopkeeper is really amazing. Na Cheng Youyi originally looked like he wanted to demolish the Fengde Building to pay off the debt, but in the end he was able to borrow the money from Cheng Youyi!
You can even ask the other party to deliver the goods to your door in person! Look at these two people talking and laughing, do they have such a good relationship?
He felt increasingly that the shopkeeper was unfathomable.
Soon, Agui took Xue An back to the front hall. Xue An was preparing meals for the dock. When he heard the shopkeeper looking for him, he ran out without even wiping the oil on his hands.
"Xue An, come and see if this is what you want."
Zhou Shi removed the lid and handed him a long-handled spoon.
He stirred the full jar of sauce a few times with a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, put it under his nose, smelled it, and said, "Yes, it's authentic Doubanjiang."
Cheng Youyi looked at him and asked Zhou Shi, "Who is this young master?"
"Oh, our new second boss at Fengde Building. Xue An, quickly say hello to shopkeeper Cheng. Shopkeeper Cheng has spent so much effort on the doubanjiang you want!"
Cheng Youyi returned the gift and asked, "I heard that this bean paste is commonly used in Sichuan cuisine. What do you want from Fengde House?"
Zhou Shi smiled and said: "Our Master Xue has a lot of knowledge, and Shu cuisine is also his specialty. If you are the shopkeeper, don't leave at noon. I'll treat you to a meal!"
Cheng Youyi wanted to refuse, but shopkeeper Zhou was too enthusiastic and couldn't resist him, so he had to sit down in the private room and let Xue An prepare two special dishes.
"Come on, shopkeeper Cheng, let me toast you!"
Zhou Shi sat opposite him and personally drank with him, waiting for the dishes to be served. He was even more surprised. He didn't expect that the bean paste produced in Shu was so delicious when used in meat dishes.
After a delicious and delicious meal, Zhou Shi asked the chef to pack a pound of sauced meat and two ounces of good wine for him to go home and drink. This flattered him, as he had had a very unhappy time with Fengdelou.
, I didn’t expect Shopkeeper Zhou to be so enthusiastic.
Although Zhou Shi was the benefactor who saved his son's life, his brother Ming settled the accounts, and the sauce shop was not his business alone. When Zhou Shi came to the sauce shop to ask for Doubanjiang, Cheng Youyi did it out of personal affection.
He mobilized his connections to search for him, which attracted some criticism.

But he didn’t expect shopkeeper Zhou Da to know that there is no market for Doubanjiang in Jiangdu. The soybean paste shop directly increased the price by 20% after making a loss-making transaction. Such kindness left the others in the soybean paste shop speechless.
Coupled with Fengdelou's warm hospitality, why can't people feel happy?
Zhou Shi's consideration was that the Sauce Shop is a wholesaler of raw materials and is closely related to Fengdelou's business, so it is necessary to have a good relationship. Although the price increase caused him some losses, it was still worth it in exchange for the favor of the Sauce Shop. After lunch, Zhou Shi immediately set off for Liujiacun.
He found Wang Jin's small courtyard based on his memory and opened the ajar door.
When he walked into the main room, he found that the old lady was taking a nap on the couch, which saved a lot of time. He dug out firewood and rice and steamed the rice. Then he took out the yellow beam pillow from the iron abacus and placed it on the old lady's face.
I pressed it gently, and then I lay down on the floor with a yellow beam pillow.
Pushing open the door to the old lady's dreamland, Zhou Shi found himself in a strange, small house, which was not the courtyard where the old lady lived in reality.
"Is this the place where Wang Jin and his son lived before? It seems that their family was not as wealthy as it is now."
While Zhou Shi was thinking, Wang Jin walked into the house with a bowl.
"Mom, it's time to eat——"
The dream switched, this time it was the old lady carefully sewing a piece of clothing under the lamp. Wang Jin pushed the door open and walked in, scolding:
"Mom, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Just sleep, just sleep. You have to take the exam soon. A scholar cannot wear shabby clothes..."
The dream switched, and the old lady was sitting under a tree at the entrance of the village, looking into the distance in ecstasy, as if she was waiting for the familiar figure to appear at the other end of the road...
Zhou Shi looked at the old lady who looked more like a mountain than the mountain next to her. Her thoughts turned and she switched to the dream again.
This time, the old lady was doing needlework on the bed. The door suddenly opened and Wang Jin and another young man walked in——
Zhou Shi was shaken from head to toe.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Come back - Hey, who is this?"
"Oh, this is Sun Mian, who studied in the same school as me, and we are in the same year. This time he, like me, was selected as a scholar. Brother Sun, this is my mother."
"I, Sun Mian, have met my aunt."
Zhou Shi looked at the well-dressed, well-dressed scholar, who was much younger than when he saw him at the Yinhun Inn, standing in front of the bed, and bowed respectfully to the old lady.
